The institute is engaged in basic and applied research in the field of biotechnologies of farm and laboratory animals that is performed in:

1. Laboratory for embryo technologies

2. Laboratory for molecular biology

3. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) laboratory

4. Laboratory for fluorescent, confocal and electron microscopy

Accredited laboratory methods:

1. Laboratories for manipulations with GMO

2. Licensed RIA laboratory

3. Laboratory for embryo evaluation for the purpose of embryo transfer

4. Laboratory for fluorescence, confocal and electron microscopy

The main aim of the research team of this institute is creation of the national centre for maintenance and conservation of animal genetic resources (National Gene Bank – NGB). Research activities are aimed at in situ conservation of valuable gene pool, which is important not only from the viewpoint of production but also for non-productive functions, landscape creation, maintenance of traditional breeds, biodiversity conservation in game animals, agro tourism, etc. The National Gene Bank will perform registration, collection, molecular-genetic analysis according to recommendations of ISAG/FAO and ex situ cryopreservation of biological material (spermatozoa, oocytes, embryos, somatic and stem cells, tissues, DNA, etc.) from animal genetic resources.
